Great points. If your not a road trip person or have another vehicle maybe even an ICE vehicle. 200 miles of range is plenty. You can fill it up each night at home.Another thought... Being in the south, you're much more likely to get that full 230 mile range in the winter. That's probably about the same that someone would get from the ER in winter in Michigan.
The tipping point seems to be about 50F. Anything above that doesn't usually need too much E-heat and battery conditioning. Below that point, range really drops.
Not sure about A/C yet, but word is it's not nearly as much of an energy hog as E-heat.
In perfect weather spots like he said it even helps out more. 8 out of 10 BEV drives will need to fast charge 5 or fewer times a year. 3 out of 10 never will period. Not many people road time all the time or go over the range each day.
